Im going to be posting some videos of Afrika/Alkebu-lan countries, however I must warn you in advance that these images and depictions may shock you.:eek:
I was inspired to make this thread after hearing a racist policeman tell a little Afrikan-American girl who was riding her bicycle in the street to "Get out of the friggin' street, you wanna act like you're in a jungle you can go back to Africa".... I was deeply disturbed but came to the realization that most people are ignorant to the beauty of the continent of Africa and her many different cultures and countries.
There are 33 different countries on the continent
Through my research I learned that African countries like Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, and Libya, Botswana, and South Africa, are ranked by World Bank as having some of the best GNI & PPP in the world. Due to oil production Angola also has one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Afrika has 90% of the worlds cobalt, 90% of its platinum, 50% of its Gold,98% of its chromium 70% of its tantalite, 64% of its manganese and one third of its uranium and the Congo has 30% of the worlds diamond reserves.

Thanks for posting that dude. Good look. I learned about Africa too this past quarter when I took Geography at my college. We learned about the negatives more than the positives though.

Ghana is a beautiful country and Afrika is a beautiful continent, most people don't look past Egypt/Kemet most times but I heard Zanzibar was one of the most beautiful places on earth.

Good thread. I never saw positive pictures of Afrika to be honest. But i did know it wasnt all poverty. Nice to actually SEE it.

Im not sure if Im familiar with the specific movie you are talking aboout but I know Ashra Kwesi takes about 100 people to Kemet/Egypt & Ethiopia twice a year on his tours and he has alot of videos, here are a few of them, and I will try to find the movie you are talking about.
